You may wonder why I feel qualified to offer online dating advice. After all, just who am I anyway? Well, I'm not a barfly, or a psychologist, or your mother. I am just a normal person like you, who has found themselves single, and wanting to meet Mr. Right, not Mr. Right Now. I have considerable experience with online dating, which resulted in meeting a variety of personalities, plus a couple of one-year relationships.

I believe online dating is a better alternative to meeting men in bars, and since the chances of meeting the right guy at work, through parties, events, or friendly matchmaking seem nonexistent, it doesn't seem to be a bad idea. At it's best, it is very efficient, sophisticated, and private. At its worst, it is frustrating, confusing, and exhausting. Along the way, I have made a lot of mistakes, and I have also learned a lot. After a few emotional bruises, I decided to do some research, and interviewed other online daters about their experiences. This research developed into a guide for women, sort of a "Standard of Ethics and Practices" to become more savvy and less naive. The purpose of this book is to provide an intelligent resource guide for venturing into these unknown waters, to guide your way through this meet market, and hopefully help to make the online dating experience a pleasant journey!
